Hi glider18, thanks for trhe warm welcome 
Stanley will sit at the command 'sit', stand on his hind legs at 'up', reach up and 'give me 5' when I say 'gimme 5'. He used to tap one of my hands when i held clenched fists out and said 'which hand'. Also, I did some tunnel work with him when he was getting a bit fat, which meant he sat at one end of a childs toy tunnel, and ran through when I said 'through'. It gave him exercise and we had fun at the same time. If we are playing with a toy ball, he gets excited and starts to act silly if I say 'go get it'.
Stan also knows things like 'up' and 'down', 'no dickabirds', 'nicley', 'use litter', 'in' and 'out'.
He is very well behaved, considering I had to teach him things he should have learnt as a kitten, such as using his litter, or not getting over excited and using his claws (which is very important as he can't retract most of them'.
